Patent EP-0053834-B1 (EP)
IPC: G01S15/89
Filed: 1981-12-08
Granted: 1987-08-26
Abstract: A scanner includes a scan head having a linear array of transducers Xn, and a transmitter 106 which excites the transducers in response to transmit signals TRn from a reference generator 110 so that the transducers emit a plurality of successive bursts of ultrasonic energy, each burst producing a transmitted beam which is steered and focused along a radially-extending scan line. To effect received beam steering and focusing, received signals Sn from the transducers are supplied to a processor 112 along with associated in-phase binary reference signals bn(R) and quadrature binary reference signals bn(I). The received signal is multiplied by a reference signal and the product is integrated for a specific time duration whose time occurrence is used to steer and focus the beam. Processor 112 is responsive to WRITE SELECT, READ SELECT and SAMPLE signals from reference generator 110 to correlate each signal Sn with its associated reference signals during a plurality of successive resolution windows, each of which corresponds to a distinct incremental area along a scan line, so as to provide in-phase and quadrature output signals Re and Im each representing a response of the array to reflections from successive incremental areas along a scan line. Signals Re and Im are combined by processors 114 and 116 to develop output signals A and O representing, respectively, the amplitude and phase of returns from successive incremental areas along a scan line. Information for transmitted and received beam steering and focusing is stored in a phase pattern memory 118A, and extracted therefrom by a controller 118 in a predetermined order and supplied to reference generator 110.

Abstract: The invention concerns a process for manufacturing a water-absorbent article in which particles of a water-swellable polymer are fixed to a water-absorbent substrate. The process includes the steps of forming on the surface of the water-swellable particles a coating of a thermoplastic adhesive resin; locating the coated particles in their unswollen and dry state on or within the water-absorbent substrate also in the dry state; and applying heat to soften the thermoplastic coating of the particles and pressing the particles and substrate to cause the particles to be bound to the substrate.

Abstract: The endless band-like portion of a chain for the tires of heavy duty automotive vehicles is assembled of substantially square main links and U-shaped shackles. Each link has a base plate which engages the tread of the tire and an outer plate which engages the ground and is spaced apart from and defines with the base plate a compartment containing projections which extend from the base plate and/or outer plate and serve to engage and retain detent members on the legs of the shackles. Each link has at least one yoke disposed in a plane extending at right angles to the respective plates and engaging the web of a shackle whose legs are anchored in the compartment of a neighboring link. At least one leg of each shackle has a spur which cooperates with the web of an adjacent shackle to prevent the extraction of legs from the compartment wherein the legs are anchored as a result of engagement of their detent members with the projections of the respective link.

Abstract: This invention relates to smoking articles having reduced free bum time, including cigarettes, cigars and little cigars. The smoking article comprises tobacco wrapped in a paper having at least one circumferential band printed between the ends of the smoking article; preferably at about the center of the smoking article. The band contains a substance which will cause the smoking article to extinguish in about 2-5 minutes under free bum conditions after the cone reaches the banded area if it is not puffed. The band is typically about 2-10 mm wide containing a substance which is a liquid in the temperature range of about 100°C to 200°C and which as the burning cone comes in contact with it provides a fluid film on the paper, without substantial penetrating through the surface of the paper, which film is substantially impervious to air and decomposes and/or distills endothermically from about 140°C to 300°C to yield gaseous decomposition products normally present in the smoke of smoking articles with the band. The amount of the substance used in the band should be sufficient to extinguish the smoking articles under free burn conditions within 2-5 minutes.

Abstract: A clutch mechanism to alow the connection of drive between an operating member (12) having a handle (33) and a drive boss (11) adapted for mounting for instance on the rotatable stem (10) of a fluid flow control valve comprises an externally screw-threaded peg (13) engaged in a screw-threaded bore (26) in the operating member (12), which bore extends parallel to the operating member axis, and a recess (18) in the end face of the drive boss (11) which recess comes into and out of registration with the bore (26) on the operating member on relative rotation thereof. The peg (13) has a head (32) positioned within a counterbore (29) in the operating member, the head having coded projections (37) therearound such that the peg may be turned solely by means of an appropriate key (35). The key is externally screw-threaded and when used to drive the peg (13) into the recess (18) in the driving boss becomes interengaged with screw-threads formed in the counterbore (29); the key may thus be removed only when the peg is disengaged from the recess.

Abstract: Improved, catalyzed substrates for use in developing characteristic colors of florescence in the presence of peroxidase enzymes (e.g., horseradish peroxidase) are disclosed which include as a rate accelerator a substituted phenol such as a p-halogenated phenol. The complete substrate typically includes a peroxide type oxidizing agent (e.g., hydrogen peroxide), a chromogenic or fluorogenic compound (e.g., ABTS), a buffer and the accelerator compound. Advantageously, the accelerator should provide at least about 50 percent rate enhancement for the substrate, as compared with an otherwise identical, accelerator-free substrate reacted under the same conditions; however, the most preferred accelerator, p-iodophenol, gives enhancement on the order to 1,000 percent. The substrates are particularly useful in so-called ELlSA determinations which involve an enzyme-linked moiety, and permit detection at very low concentration levels unobtainable with conventional colorimetric substrates.
